Skyrim

[Porn Shop Clerk]

i don't see why anyone would choose to play a game that gets as much attention from modders on a console unless they had no other choice

[P-paw]

Me, my brother, and his girlfriend have all made characters and are currently playing through Skyrim. My brother and I decided to be Wood Elf archers, with his girlfriend choosing to be a mage. I'm about level 28 right now with about 50 hours of gameplay. Arching is really fun, but it's tough as you can't heal OR jump around WHILE you're arching..compared to the arching in Oblivion. I'm on the search for glass armor now, so I haven't been doing much main quests. Matter of fact, I haven't even talked to the graybeards. But I found out that if you wait to get the Dragon Tablet for that guy in Whiterun..you can adventure throughout Skyrim without having to battle dragons as they won't spawn until you give it to him.

I've beaten the main quest and have had my first issue pop up while wanting to do the extra stuff. Not game-breaking, but irritating. I like to keep a library in my house in Markarth, and sporadically have an issue with one of the shelves where books just disappear for whatever reason. The only way I can fix it is by individually pulling each book off the shelf then placing them back on. It's annoying because I have to do ti every time I want to add a book. Other than that, things have been mostly pretty good.

nvm that was for oblivion

This is what they're working on now...

It’s been a few weeks since our last update on Skyrim’s status, so we wanted to share details on what we’re working on.

The Creation Kit and Steam Workshop are nearly ready. We’re currently working with members of Valve and our modding community to do some final testing, and we’re on track for a public release near the end of the month. We think Skyrim modding is one of the game’s best features, and we have the best modders of any game. It’s been a lot of exciting work for us, and we can’t wait to unleash it.

Skyrim’s 1.4 update is currently undergoing testing on all three platforms. The update will include fixes and optimizations for the most common issues people have been reporting (see below). We’re hoping to finalize this next week, and submit it to the console manufacturers for certification, as well as release on PC.

Our current update plan for the PC is to first release our updates as “beta” versions through Steam. This is something you’ll be able to opt into through Steam and back-out of if needed. This is an extra safety check for everyone going forward and should expedite and improve our updating process for our PC users. We’ll have more info soon on how this will work.

Echoing what we said back in December, we’ll continue to look into issues that are being reported and subsequent updates will follow. You have all supported Skyrim in a huge way, and we’ll be supporting all of you, and continue to make the game better.

After the break, check out the current changelog for 1.4.

[BlanksKarma]

Only problem I've had was my companion disappeared and I had to use console codes to make her reappear.

Also I'm curious of everyone's lvl and hours.

Mine is 90 hours lvl 40.

130 hours Lvl 68 master dif

[4Corners]

when are they going to release DLC?

[stankowalski]

130 hours Lvl 68 master dif

WTF? Is there no level cap? Usually Elder Scrolls caps at 50...if memory serves correctly.

[Dex]

Watching Game of Thrones makes me want to play Skyrim so bad.

[stankowalski]

One thing that drives me mad with the PC version is that sometimes it doesn't detect what dialogue option I selected. I will select a dialogue option and the response is to some other dialogue option.

[SOJA]

bump

 

for reference I'm not a huge videogame player

 

but holy hell if this isn't one of the best games I have ever played. think youre tired of it? start up a new character and try to master a different path and it's a completely new game 

 

I can not wait for Destiny to release next year because if that's essential Skyrim in a Halo type universe.....omfg
